Psalms 62

1 For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh my salvation.

TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. Toward God alone [is] my soul silent, My salvation [is] from Him.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.

He alone [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.

3 How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of you, as a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

Until when do you devise mischief against a man? All of you are destroyed, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

4 They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

Only—from his excellence They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, they bless with their mouth, And revile with their heart. (Selah)

5 Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope.

For God alone, be silent, O my soul, For my hope [is] from Him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be moved.

He alone [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

7 Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

On God [is] my salvation, and my glory, The rock of my strength, my refuge [is] in God.

8 Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth your heart before Him, God [is] a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.

Surely vanity the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up They [are] lighter than a breath.

10 Trust not in oppression, and put not vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

Do not trust in oppression, And do not become vain in robbery, Do not set the heart [on] wealth when it increases.

11 God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this: that strength belongeth unto God;

Once has God spoken, twice I heard this, That “strength [is] with God.”

12 Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.

And with You, O Lord, [is] kindness, For You repay to each, According to his work!
